Triggering: A Sharia State of Mind

This column can be deemed Trigger Warning-worthy
because it mocks trigger warning addicts and others dependent on
post-adolescence pacifiers.

Short of declaring reality off-limits, the number of things
being declared persona non grata by
college students seems to be multiplying.

However, is it my
imagination or are today’s college students establishing a kind of secular
Sharia, sans a mystical deity,
without possessing an inkling of knowledge of Islamic law? It could go under
another name most college students would be horrified by but unable to refute: Fascism. Historically, Fascism
as a collectivist movement, relied on physical force to propagate and impose
its various statist agendas, from Hitler’s racist supremacism, to the Perons’
class warfare against the upper and middle classes.

Sharia
is a code of Islamic “law” that defines acceptable behavior and “codifies” do’s
and don’ts for the average, gullible, brain-stunted Muslim. By its nature, and
because of its purpose, it is totalitarian;
it prescribes and governs virtually every action, decision, and choice of an
individual.

Like Nazi ideology
(and it is no coincidence that Islam is compatible with Nazism [National Socialism],
and vice versa), Islam erases the individual, requiring him to live, breathe,
and eat for Allah in across-the-board submission. It even prescribes his bodily
functions and behavior in the bathroom.

In the totalitarian regimes,
as the Germans found out after only a few months of Hitler's rule, every detail
of life is prescribed, or proscribed. There is no longer any distinction
between private matters and public matters. "There are to be no more
private Germans," said Friedrich Sieburg, a Nazi writer; "each
is to attain significance only by his service to the state, and to find
complete self-fulfillment in his service." "The only person who is
still a private individual in Germany," boasted Robert Ley, a member of
the Nazi hierarchy, after several years of Nazi rule, "is somebody
who is asleep."

Your life purpose
and goal as a Muslim is to join the Ummah,
or the whole collective of Islam, around the globe, and you can join it by
advancing the spread of Islam. (I’ve always nicknamed it “The Borg.”)

Substitute the
state with Allah, and there is no fundamental difference between Islam and
Nazism. Dutch politician Geert Wilders has been right all the long.

Geert Wilders: Always standing tall for Civilization

So many things
upset or offend a Muslim. So many offences may get you, a non-compliant Muslim
or an infidel killed. That has happened countless times, everywhere, and
counted tens of thousands of victims. Here is a short list of permissions and
prohibition from Billionbibles:

• Theft is punishable by amputation of
the right hand (above).
• Criticizing or denying any part of the Quran is
punishable by death.

• Criticizing Muhammad
or denying that he is a prophet is punishable by death.

• A Muslim who becomes a non-Muslim
[an apostate] is punishable by death.

• A non-Muslim who leads a Muslim away
from Islam is punishable by death.

• A non-Muslim man who marries a
Muslim woman is punishable by death.

• A man can marry an infant girl and
consummate the marriage when she is 9 years old.

• Girls' clitoris should be cut (Muhammad's
words, Book 41, Kitab Al-Adab, Hadith 5251). [Columbia
University students recently polled said they were comfortable with female
genital mutilation, or FGM]

• A woman can have 1 husband, who can
have up to 4 wives; Muhammad
can have more.

• A man can beat his wife for
insubordination.

• A man can unilaterally divorce his
wife; a woman needs her husband's consent to divorce.

• A divorced wife loses custody of all
children over 6 years of age, or when they exceed it.

• Testimonies of four male witnesses
are required to prove rape against a woman.

• A woman who has been raped cannot
testify in court against her rapist(s).

• A woman's testimony in court,
allowed in property cases, carries ½ the weight of a
man's.

• A female heir inherits half of what
a male heir inherits.
• A woman may not drive a car, as it leads to fitnah
(upheaval).[or accidents?]

• A woman cannot speak alone to a man
who is not her husband or relative.

•Edible meat must come from animals that
have been sacrificed to Allah, i.e., be "Halal."[“Edible
meat” does not include pork, or any by-product of it; pork is verboten to
Muslims]

• Muslims should engage in Taqiyya and lie to
non-Muslims to advance Islam.

The Islamic Sharia is a system of law. It
is a collection of prohibitions, admonitions and commands about human behavior.
The Sharia is not an internal matter that only concerns Islam and Muslims. The
Sharia includes a large number of provisions about people who are not Muslims.
These rules are usually prohibitions that carry severe penalties if violated.
These provisions of the Sharia make life unsafe and uncertain for someone who
lives under Sharia law and who is not a Muslim.

Under Sharia law, someone who is not a
Muslim possesses no inalienable rights. If I am wrong here, I will be relieved,
and happy to stand corrected and receive your e-mails pointing out why I am
wrong. But if I am right, a prisoner in Guantanamo Bay possesses more rights
than a Jew or a Christian who lives under Sharia law…..

Muslim theology claims that Sharia law is
divine. If unfamiliar new questions arise for which the Sharia has to provide
an answer, Sharia specialists, at least in theory, put forward a solution that
is based upon the four principles or ‘roots’, of the Sharia. These four
principles will reemerge again and again in all discussions concerning the
Sharia. They are Koran, Hadith, Analogy and Agreement.

Obama kicked him out of the Oval Office

I wrote in “Trigger
Happy,” that “Cashing in on their students’ prenatal Progressive
upbringing, and on their potty-training, modern educators patronize and
encourage the bewildering universe of the modern college student, who has been
taught that nothing is real and that therefore reality is anything you want it
to be.If you think a thing is dangerous
or offensive, you deserve a “safe place” from it, and more, that you should be
warned of its proximity and that steps should be taken to expel it from reality
– or at least from a snowflake’s consciousness.”

University
students studying the death of Christ are being given trigger warnings
before being shown images of the Crucifixion. Theology undergraduates studying
an introductory Bible course at the highly-regarded University of Glasgow are
being warned that the execution may distress them.

They are given the opportunity to skip lectures entirely if they are
too fearful that the Biblical imagery may upset them.

Those triggers also extend to such worrisome
things as forensic evidence, dead animals, and urban rioting.

Warnings are also given to the university’s veterinary students who
work with dead animals, and those studying ‘contemporary society’ who will be
discussing illness and violence.

Students of forensic science at Strathclyde University in Glasgow are
given a ‘verbal warning… at the beginning of some lectures where sensitive
images, involving blood patterns, crime scenes and bodies etc are in the
presentation’.

Muslims, of course,
are already granted dozens of mandatory “trigger warnings.” In fact, they are
demanding that the whole country – or all of Europe – be converted, in
conformance with Sharia, into a “safe space,” which now, in Muslim-occupied
sections of major European cities, goes under the appellation of a “no go zone,”
where they can express their outraged hurt feelings or plot their latest
depredation against “infidel” without worry about the police. Barring that,
they’ll exercise their right to riot and stab and rape and set fire to their
own mosques and call it someone else’s “hate crime.”

White "supremacists" who trigger the Sharia-minded

In sum, a kind of campus-defined
brand of Sharia, has
effectively been established and regulated by the trigger fingers of
hypersensitive students. “You can’t show that! It’s offensive and upsetting!”
Often, without even a cue from their professors (but too often in accordance
with an academic, Marxist agenda), students will identify a trigger-worthy
pariah, these students have been well-trained and brainwashed: Cecil Rhodes,
Thomas Jefferson, Brexit, Israel, Jews, Winston Churchill, and the list could
go on. God, as he is depicted in Western lore, is “white,” and so can be
protested, claim the Black Lies Matter fascists. The major Western
philosophers, from Socrates and Aristotle, up to the West’s major philosophical
nemeses who gave rise to it all, Immanuel Kant and Georg F. Hegel, were
“white,” so “off with their heads, too,” and exorcize them out of the syllabus! We
don’t want to know who laid the intellectual groundwork of what we want NOW and
what we want banished!

Jefferson: a bête noire on many campuses

University
officials are succumbing to, or are encouraging, a “Sharia state of mind” in
their faculties, in their classrooms, and in their students. It is a
totalitarian “state of mind” eerily similar to that which existed in Nazi
Germany (a “state of mind” being revived in modern Germany to the benefit of
Muslims there) and in the Soviet Union.

In the classroom, a
student who questions the assertions of a leftist teacher, or who doesn’t hove
to the PC line of “safety,” will be trashed, mocked, ridiculed, and subjected
to gales of laughter on cue from the teacher. And outside the classroom,
physically threatened and likely attacked. As Jews and Trump supporters are
now.

Today’s
“snowflakes” are today’s black and brown shirts. They are today’s yearners for
an educational and cultural Kristallnacht.They adhere to their Sharia-like state of
mind. They don’t need to don uniforms made by Hugo
Boss. We witnessed their actions and antics during the Trump/Clinton
presidential campaign. They have discarded reason and all rational values. All
they have left to act on are their emotions; the sweeping Trump victory, has
left then nothing but their malice and vitriol stoked by their leaders in
academia and out. They are the
violent, careening, activist Fascists, pulling real triggers and wielding clubs
and bricks. Or neo-Nazis. Or secular Jihadists. Or the political cannon fodder of
the Democrats.

Of course, it shouldn't need to be pointed out that the triggering warning is related to Islam's prohibition of images of Mohammad, of books critical of Islam, of women in bikinis, and so on. These are akin to the snowflakes' not wanting to see images of Jefferson, or who or whatever has earned their animus.

Friday evening, the gentle, peace-loving students at UC Davis blocked the entrance to a hall where Milo Yiannopolous was to speak, causing the event to be cancelled. I guess the college Republicans, who were sponsoring Yiannopolous, failed to issue the proper trigger warnings in advance of the event. Shame on them.

I watched a UC Davis video of the "event." There was one Iranian migrant and a student there who opposed what the other students were doing, which was to shut down Milo. The Iranian was harassed and pushed around but he managed to make his video. His English wasn't perfect, but he made his point which was that what the students were doing was too much was the Iranian government would do to protesters. I gave his video a thumbs up.

A Los Angeles Times reporter who attended the event insisted that the protesters acted non-violently. Preventing the speech through intimidation and by physically preventing attendees from entering the building counts as a peaceful demonstration in mainstream media doublespeak.

Edward Cline, American Novelist

Edward Cline was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1946. After graduating from high school (in which he learned nothing of value) and a stint in the Air Force, he pursued his ambition to become a novelist. His first detective novel, First Prize, was published in 1988 by Mysterious Press/Warner Books, and his first suspense novel, Whisper the Guns, was published in 1992 by The Atlantean Press. First Prize was republished in 2009 by Perfect Crime. The Sparrowhawk series of novels set in England and Virginia in the pre-Revolutionary period has garnered critical acclaim (but not yet from the literary establishment) and universal appreciation from the reading public, including parents, teachers, students, scholars, and adult readers who believe that American history has been abandoned or is misrepresented by a government-dominated educational establishment. He is dedicated to Objectivism, Ayn Rand's philosophy of reason in all matters.
